So I like to talk and sometimes Mommy, Daddy and Joie understand it.  I try to get my point across but they say it sounds like cute expressionistic yelling.  Except Mommy or Mama which I have down. They love it when I say that but I only say it when I really want her and she's not paying attention. 

I'm also trying to walk like Joie and I can take a few steps holding onto a chair or bench or something.  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me so I try to do it more.  I can crawl really fast by pulling myself around with my arms.  I have really strong arms and try to get Daddy to put me on the rock climbing holds in the house as often as he will.  I learned to put my butt in the air and look through my legs from my friend Sariah, thats funny, and I shake my head no no too.  I'm trying to be a big kid and give Mommy a break by being independent but sometimes she thinks I'm making it worse cause I can get into things she doesn't want me to now as well. 

I'm really bonding with Daddy now cause we get to spend so much time together while Mommy is at work and most of the time he takes care of me at night too because Mommy is too tired. Mommy is always tired...I don't know why. Sleep is overrated.
